. Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 9, 1919.

Application filed December 29, 1917. Serial No. 209,544.

To all whom may concern:

Be it known that I, RYUJI Sa'ro, a subject of the Emperor of Japan, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful.

Improvements in Calendars, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in calendars and it seeks for its principal object to provide a combination pocket and wall calendar which will allow of the same being hung on a wall in display position or folded and carried in the pocket.

Another object of the invention is the rovision of an article of the class descri ed, which is especially designed for use as an advertising novelty and to this end, the advertising matter is printed thereon, so to be readable when the same is hanging in its display position as well as when folded.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a calendar which provided with means for retaining the sai'ne in its folded condition, one element of said means also serving as a means for hanging the calendar and the other co-acting element serving to secure the cover to the calendar leaves.

A further object of the invention is the provision of an article of the class described comprising leaves and a cover therefor, adapted to be folded around said leaves and means for securing the cover to the leaves, said means having mounted thereon, an indicating device which designates the current day of the month.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of an article of the class de scribed which is simple of construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and which is adapted to bear suitable advertising indicia.

WVith these and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts fully described and pointed out in the following description and claim and illustrated in the accompanying V drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in its hanging or display position.

Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device showing the same folded, and

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view there through.

Referring to the drawings, 10 designates generally, the calendar leaves, and 11, the cover thereof, the same being folded over the upper edge of the leaves and secured thereto by means of a rivet 12, which is passed through the cover and the leaves as shown. Mounted 011 the rivet is an indicating arm 13, which has )ivoted to its free end, a pointer section 1 The outer extremity of the rivet is provided with a head in the form of a snap fastening 15, and the free end of the cover is provided with an eyelet 16, which is adapted to co-act with the snap fastening in the position shown in Fig; 2, to secure the cover in its folded condition. The eyelet 16, as shown in Fig. 1, serves as a means for hanging the calendar to a nail. and it will be noted that the advertisingindicia 17, will be readily readable in either position of the cover. It will also be seen that the cover, when folded, will pre vent accidental displacement of the indicat ing arm as it serves to lock the same against movement when placed in the pocket.

lVhile I have shown and described a simple and preferred form of the invention, I do not care to be limited to the exact de tails therein exhibited but desire to reserve the right to make such changes and alterations as fall within the scope of the ap pended claim.

What is claimed as new is An article of the class described, comprising a pad of calendar leaves, a casing formed of a strip of material proportioned to inclosc the pad, a headed pin for securing the leaves in the casing, an eyelet provided in the free end of the casing and adapted to co-act with the headed end of the pin to retain the casing in a folded condition, said eyelet also serving as means for hanging the casing when unfolded to display the calendar leaves and an indicating means mounted on the pin and adapted to indicate the current day of the month.

I11 testimony whereof I affix my signature.
